About Mobile Voting
Our mission is pretty simple: democracy is broken. The only way to fix it is by getting a lot more people to vote.
About Tusk Philanthropies
Tusk Philanthropies is a nonprofit organization founded by Bradley Tusk, Founder and CEO of Tusk Holdings. Tusk Philanthropies has two areas of focus: Fixing our democracy by dramatically increasing voter turnout and participation in U.S. elections through mobile voting, and working to combat food insecurity through coordinated campaigns in states across the country and works to increase commitment to anti-hunger efforts on the federal level.
The 20 mobile voting pilots we've completed to date have shown that mobile voting is not only possible, but a preferred method of voting."
